After opening the manned lunar rover project to public participation back in May, a total of 40 enterprises and academic institutions submitted numerous proposals jointly or separately, of which 11 were selected for further expert review and assessment. , which are as follows:
– The proposal from the Eighth Academy of CASC (in partnership with the FAW Group, the Northern Vehicle Research Institute, Beijing University of Technology, and Huizhou Yiwei Lithium Energy) has been chosen for detailed design and engineering development.
– The proposal from the Fifth Academy of CASC (in partnership with GAC Group and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University) has also been chosen for detailed design and engineering development.
– Six proposals submitted by Tsinghua University (partnering with Sanjiang Group), Chasing Innovation Technology Co, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (partnering with the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Chengdu Guoxing Aerospace, Beijing Lutan Technology), Chongqing University (partnering with Avita Technology, Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts, Chongqing Yujie Automobile), Shanghai Longchuang Automobile Design Co, and Shanghai Jiaotong University (in conjunction with Beijing University of Technology, Xugong Group, SAIC Group, China Electronic Technology Group) have shown unique merits and promise in individual technologies and subsystems. These six proposals will receive funding for further development.
Guancha reveals some fun facts about Jiang Xinlin.
He was graduated from the College of Armoured Forces and Engineering (装甲兵工程学院, now ) where he learned how to operate MBTs. He then joined PLAAF after the college and became a jet fighter pilot for 10 years. Now he will be a taikonaut. With such uncommon experience, he will probably be one of his own kind in history.
